First-Ever Cannabis Product Approved for Import Into Mexico, RSHO-X™, Made in San Diego on Display as Elizalde Advocates for Medical Cannabis in Mexico

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - August 03, 2016) - Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC PINK: MJNA) announced today that medical cannabis activist Raul Elizalde of Mexico will join Company representatives at the Southern California Cannabis Conference and Expo (SocalCCExpo) at the San Diego Convention Center to discuss his fight to unify the voices of families and patients in need of medical cannabis in Mexico.

Raul Elizalde and his family were the first in Mexico to sue the federal government and win the right to import cannabidiol (CBD) hemp oil to treat their daughter Grace's severe form of epilepsy known as Lennox-Gastaux Syndrome. Raul's victory for his daughter created the legal precedent for other families in Mexico to gain access to CBD, including the Maldonados, who were granted the first-ever federal import permit from the Mexican government for Medical Marijuana, Inc.'sReal Scientific Hemp Oil-X™ (RSHO-X™) for their 11-year-old daughter Alina.

"Elizalde speaks from his heart, and we're thrilled that he'll be at the Expo in person to discuss his passionate fight for providing the best quality of life for his daughter, Grace, and others throughout Mexico," said Dr. Stuart Titus, the CEO of Medical Marijuana, Inc. "Day-by-day we are working to change the world's perception of medical marijuana, and it's the tireless efforts of advocates like Elizalde, who are helping us make major strides toward this effort. One person can truly make a difference."

Medical Marijuana, Inc.'sHempMeds® Mexico partners with Elizalde's not-for-profit Por Grace Foundation, which he established to ensure families receive the right to health care and access to CBD hemp oil and to advocate for medical marijuana legalization in Mexico. The partners' combined efforts have led to major changes in Mexico's marijuana policy, as Mexico President Pena Nieto announced on April 21, 2016, his intent to move the country away from marijuana prohibition and towards prevention and regulation, including medicinal use.

Elizalde will also speak as part of the Expo's "Children and Cannabis, Safety & Health" panel, which will be hosted by Medical Marijuana, Inc.'s PR firm CMW Media on Aug. 7 at 12 p.m. Joining Elizalde on the panel will be three-year-old San Diego girl Sadie Higuera and her father Brian Higuera, who will share Sadie's miraculous story with medical cannabis; and Dallas mom and RSHO™ advocate Penny Howard will also speak with her 8-year-old daughter Lily about how sharing her late daughter Harper's story to Facebook helped a family in Brazil. Through the Hope4Harper non-profit, Penny raises awareness for CDKL5, directly leading to a series of challenges to marijuana policies in Brazil.
